THE long-anticipated Malaysian Media Council (MMC) is edging closer to reality. Recently, Fahmi Fadzil, spokesperson for the unity government who is also Communications Minister, announced that the MMC Bill had secured Cabinet approval and would soon be tabled in the Dewan Rakyat.
This announcement marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing efforts to foster a more democratic, free, and ethical media environment in Malaysia. The MMC is expected to bring significant positive change, particularly at a time when Malaysia is facing declining press freedom.
